Chapter 3 It's a bit fast, but it's the eve of the decisive battle
The girl did not listen to Arthur's words, but decided so from the beginning, which is very strange, how could such a little girl run to block the way when such a major matter related to the survival of mankind leaked the news?
Eve was about to say something, but was interrupted again, this time by someone else but his twin sister Lynn. Lynn whispered something in Eve's ear, and this time even Eve couldn't help but show a surprised expression, although Eve had tried her best to hide it, she still couldn't completely hide it, and the fairy sisters were surprised to this extent.
Johanna noticed this detail, if she was not mistaken, Lynn's change of attitude was after seeing the star pattern on the girl's cloak, but what was the point of that not-so-unique pattern?
In any case, the girl joined the group with a lot of responsibility, without mentioning her name or explaining her intentions, like a bystander who did not intend to communicate with anyone.
But this coldness did not dampen Arthur's enthusiasm.
"We still have a long way to go, if you don't mind, let me carry you on your back, if I see your lovely feet tormented by this journey, I will want to die. ”
Johanna felt that her stomach was not very comfortable, and Arthur was like this, obviously not understanding romance but always thinking that he was some kind of romantic master, and he would always suddenly say such bad nonsense. To be honest, Johanna still admires Arthur's self-confidence that comes from nowhere, after all, being able to do it to this extent is a kind of talent.
Johanna clearly saw a slight pause in the girl's footsteps, and she turned around and looked at Arthur with caring eyes, which is how a normal person would react when they heard Arthur's words.
But Arthur didn't understand the meaning of the girl's expression at all, and seemed to see the girl's eyes as a kind of recognition, and puffed up his chest proudly.
Although this is not the first time Johanna has thought like this, she will still be deeply aware at any time that Arthur is completely hopeless as a man.
Seth looked at Arthur, this was not the first time she had examined this legendary Son, but no matter how many times she looked at it, she still felt funny, why was such a guy chosen?
It's so that people don't even have the interest to laugh, and the only thing that can be uttered is a boring sigh.
"Ha~. ”
Maybe Seth's sigh was a little more tactful, but Arthur didn't understand what she meant at all, and saw it as a shy rejection of the little girl, and stepped forward to hug Seth.
But before Arthur could do that, Lynn and Eve stood in front of Seth and pushed Arthur away.
"You're a man after all, it's not appropriate to do such a thing, so leave this little thing to us. ”
The fairy princess, who has always been strong, has a taste that cannot be refused when she speaks.
At this point, even Arthur could understand that something was strange, the haughty goblins had always thought highly of themselves, and would never be such an amiable person, let alone offer to take care of an unidentified girl they met for the first time.
Arthur was silent for a moment, his eyes constantly scanning Lynn and Eve, and finally he grinned as if he had thought of something.
"I see, I see. ”
For some reason, the smile on Arthur's face was full of confidence, and he winked at the fairy sisters in what he thought was dashing, and shook his cloak contrivedly when he turned around.
"You don't have to worry at all, my love for each of you is equal. ”
Johanna knew what Arthur had misunderstood, and as I said before, the man Arthur Drake was completely hopeless.
Lynn didn't even bother to pay attention to Arthur's stupidity, she leaned over and half-knelt on the ground, her hands clasped behind her back, an action that undoubtedly put the girl on her back again.
Seth wasn't going to give in, she stepped on Lynn's wrapped hands with her book, and curled up on Lynn's back to back.
It was only then that Johanna realized that the girl had no shoes on her feet, and that her two white feet were exposed to the air. This is undoubtedly very abnormal, considering that in the wild, shoes do not exist as decoration but as a protective measure, and it is undoubtedly strange to abandon such a simple and practical protective measure, but considering that the girl herself is full of suspicions, it is not a big deal not to wear shoes in the forest.
The addition of the girl made this team, which had no fate with unity, even more bizarre, although it remained stable on the surface, there was already an undercurrent surging under the smooth water.
This was followed by the same covert march as before, but unlike the previous days, this night would be the most special, as at midnight the march stopped and settled in a hidden cave.
Because after tonight, tomorrow they will officially make contact with the mobile fortress 'Babylon', which means that the final battle will begin. In that final battle, there may be people who will never be able to return to their homeland, so no matter what their intentions are, everyone will not let this last peace become meaningless.
Arthur's team consisted of seven people, including himself, in addition to Seth. They are Arthur himself as the captain, Johanna Clementine as a priest and princess of the magical power Longor, Eve and her twin sister Grand Druiline as a scout and ranger, Diana, a childhood sweetheart and a rookie wizard from a civilian background, Alexander, a general from the Holy Kingdom, and Gil Salas, the adopted son of Justin Salas, one of the four most prestigious knights in the human kingdom.
This is the strongest team that can be drawn without ensuring a frontal battle, and although it is almost all young people, there is no need to worry about it, because these young people have nothing to lose to the older generation except for their age.
Prepare a hidden resting place, and everyone will start preparing for the banquet, and no one will be dissatisfied with it, because this banquet will most likely become everyone's final farewell party.
While the girls prepared the food while the men did the dirty and tiring work, Seth sat down in a quiet corner, and from time to time opened the 'mad poet' in his arms and wrote and drew on it.
Unlike the girls who laughed when they got together, the men's side was much more dull, the upright Alexander and the loyal Jill, both of whom were taciturn types, even when Arthur invited girls of unknown origin to join the team, neither of them expressed any opinions.
